Importation of Canadian Drugs Allowed to U.S.
US
Customs and The Food and Drug Administration will no longer be
confiscating any packages as of Monday, October
9th. This is in no small part to the pressure
applied on US politicians by the dedicated customers of CanadaDrugsOnline.com.
Your feedback and support is greatly appreciated and goes
along way toward providing access to affordable medications
for the citizens of the
United
States - Thank
You.
US
Customs seized over 40,000 packages of imported drugs starting
November 17th, 2005, two days after the start of
enrollment for Medicare's new prescription drug program. Democrats in Congress
and many seniors suspected that this was done to scare the US
seniors and resulting in them signing up for coverage with the
new Medicare Plan D program and paying higher prices for drugs
from local U.S pharmacies. Regardless of what many seniors and
Democrats think,
U.S. officials said
that they were confiscating Canadian packages out of concerns
about the safety of U.S consumers.
Seniors
complained that they were failing to receive needed
medications, and members of Congress who favor the importation
of cheap drugs for senior constituents criticized the agency
for failing to adequately warn people of the
crackdown.
According
to Nelson and The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the FDA
will not confiscate any small drug shipments, up to a 90 day
supply, for individuals. The FDA will only focus on
large shipments of drugs that are likely being imported for
illegal purposes.
As
Senate Bill Nelson said, "It's a great victory, particularly
for the senior citizens who are having difficulty making
financial ends meet in a time in which, sadly, some senior
citizens have to make a decision between buying their
prescription drugs and buying their
groceries."

Benefits of Statins
Researchers say
that studies done in recent years suggest that drug therapy is
beneficial for metabolic syndrome in patients. In
California, a study was done
by UC Davis researchers which proved that statins reduce
disease-causing inflammation in patients with metabolic
syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a condition which includes
symptoms such as abdominal obesity and high blood pressure.
Studies also suggest that one in four Americans with these
symptoms are five times more likely to develop
diabetes.
Inflammation
involves a metabolic cycle of changes that results in
resistance to insulin, which causes diabetes.
Statins decrease the levels of
cholesterol, which prevent the blood vessels from getting
blocked due to the plaque build-up. Statins also are
anti-inflammatory, and since metabolic syndrome is
characterized as low grade inflammation and insulin
resistance, they can be used to treat this
syndrome.
It was found
that the statins lowered the low density lipoprotein
cholesterol and the non high density lipoprotein cholesterol
levels. Both of these are needed to treat the metabolic
syndrome.
"Researchers also found marked reductions
in two pivotal biomarkers of inflammation: C-reactive protein
(CRP) and interleukin-6. While these markers are typically
elevated in insulin resistance, a condition that precedes the
development of diabetes, statin therapy reduced these levels
by 36% and 44%, respectively."
For the most
part, poor nutrition and an unhealthy lifestyle is the cause
of metabolic disorders, genetic factors also contribute to
this disorder. A study done by researchers showed that
metabolic syndrome disproportionately affects particular age
and ethnic groups.

Your Comments
"All I got to
say is thank you for the cheap medications. If it wasn't for
you I would not be able to afford them here in the
United
States and I would have been
off my medications for the past 2 years. You're a life saver.
Thanks!"

"I
just wanted to say how happy I am with your service, from the
nice people that I have talked to, to the fast receiving of my
order. I will not hesitate to order from you
again."

"I
never do this but I had to send you guys a fan letter after
getting my second order (a refill of a prior prescription)
from your site! Not only did I save six or seven
*hundred* dollars by getting a generic that isn't available
here in the
US, I got
my medication *four days* after placing the order.
The customer service people even called the day after I placed
my order to confirm the medication had been shipped. As
someone who always puts off ordering until the very last
minute, I was expecting to have to ration my
medication for the last few days as I waited for my
prescription to arrive. Instead, I actually have pills
to spare. Thank you so much for your great prices, and
your terrific customer service! I'll never
order medicine anywhere else, ever again!"
